Joystickers – Tactile Buttons for Touchscreens

February 28, 2011 by Peter Leave a Comment

Shill time, baby!

Anyone who has read this blog knows that I love my iPad. I’m a sucker for the apps, the screen, the feel of it, the whole package. So I was excited to see a new project on Kickstarter for a new kind of accessory.

I don’t play games on my iPad as much as I did when I first got my iPod touch, but I used to play a lot. One of my few complaints about iPod gaming was the fact that there was no tactile feedback when you pressed the screen. The guys at Joystickers are making a button that you can stick onto the screen to solve just that problem. Go there, watch the video, pledge some money.

The part I’m really excited about are a couple of fancy styluses – one like a nice pen and one like a paintbrush. I love using NoteTakerHD, but the stylus I have is too short and thin to feel really comfortable in my hand. I’m dying to try out the Flow and the Scribe. To sum up, this is a great looking project worth contributing to. Check it out!
